5 out of 5 stars They are the best!.......2006-12-10

Along with "The Weaver's Carnegie Concert" and "The Kington Trio" (first album), this album is arguably one of the three most influencial albums of the 50's/60's. I was lucky enough to have heard these guys at the Gate in 1961, and it probably is the album I have listened to the most in all the years since. Gibson has a magical aura...just a banjo or 12 string...no pyrotechnics or any of that crap...just pure talent and enthusiasm. Camp, at odds with him personally was the ultimate complement and together they just made the best, hippest music on the north side or anywhere for way too short a time. I miss them both.

4 out of 5 stars I'm Satisfied.......2006-08-15

You have to give credit, these days, to any business that does exactly what it says. My order arrived at the price and well within the timeframe promised.

3 out of 5 stars Not as great as expecting.......2006-02-23

Unfortunately this disk suffers from anticipation. Just like when your friends tell you how great a movie is, your expectations are set way high and you can only be disappointed when you experience the movie yourself.

I had heard about this recording for years and the influence of the duo (especially Gibson) on McGuinn, Judy Collins, etc.

At its best, the CD is excellent (Two in the Middle, Daddy Roll `Em). But too often it is just ok. And I could have done without the attempts at vaudeville humor. [The Smothers Brothers went full-time down that road and were much better at it.]

As an historical relic, it is a necessary artifact. As a listenable CD, it is in the middle of the stack.

5 out of 5 stars Folk Revival at its Best.......2005-07-21

A watershed album of the late-50's, early-60's folk revival, "Gate of Horn" catches lightning in a bottle. The combination of creative rearrangements of folk standards (and originals that might as well be standards), the effortless twelve-string guitar cascades, and most of all the tight but wildly improvised harmonies capture a level of authenticity and excitment that has seldom been duplicated in acoustic music. Casual listeners outside of Chicago may never have heard of Gibson and Camp, but musicians and scholars know well the lines of influence inspired by this album. A true classic.

5 out of 5 stars Get this CD.......2003-09-08

What a great album!!! This is how music is supposed to sound, the harmonies are wonderful and the joy is apparent. What they don't tell you is that the CD has the original "Butternut Hill". This song was missing after the first pressing due to legal action. I'm glad to see that today we have come a long way. If you are a Chicagoian, or even if you are not, get this album to remember the good old days. The only downside; the print on the original liner notes is too small to read for those of us who remember this wonderful duo.
